Construction update

A long wait was involved in capturing the walkway devoid of passengers between the new multistory to the left and the ring road to the right. This is the first part of the route from the temporary drop off zone to the terminal. The scaffolding is holding up a roof to protect passengers from falling objects.


Taken from the temporary drop off zone, the new multistory on this side juts out at various points. The bit beyond the stairwell is the first of two entrances to the new undercover drop off zone. As seen the drop off zone will have a high roof to help with ventilation.


Photo shows the first of two connections between Taxiway Delta and its new parallel taxiway. The third connection will be with Taxiway Alpha.


Photo shows in the background and to the right is the Dart maintenance area roof and to its left is the station. In the foreground are 3 sets of major foundations compared to the standard multistory foundations. The multistory will eventually head in the cameras direction but I have no idea what these foundations will support.


The old road has been buried under hardcore and crushed stones. Eventually this will support a temporary layer of concrete that will support a permanent roof. Once complete the temporary concrete, crushed stones, hardcore and clay will be dug out after the supporting walls are in place.
